I ain’t dead yet …

September 22, 2010

kayleigh has been away since Sunday at some training/seminar gig. She returns late Thursday, and after she rests a bit we’re heading out Saturday on a day trip into Kentucky for some family-type goings on.

The World Fantasy Convention hits Columbus in 36 days. I know this because I have a countdown gadget on my iGoogle page! We’re also making plans to attend the Chicago 2012 Worldcon. This should be fun with GoH Mike Resnick and Toastmaster John Scalzi. The Ohio Cabal rules!

(As a sidebar to the “Ohio Cabal rules!”, Paul Melko’s The Walls of the Universe has been optioned for a movie by some of the same folks that did Shrek. And the book sequel has been sold to Tor).

In the meantime, I admit to being distracted and out of sorts and just plain tired. I have a pestering — or perhaps I should say festering — story that just can’t seem to be completed the way I want. I wanted it in circulation the first week of September but haven’t touched it for a couple of weeks. This too causes a great amount of annoyance. Now I’m hoping for the end of the month. And then I can either go back to a long-term side project or something new, shiny, and distracting, or both.
